Formatting a bibliography without BibTeX

Post by anson »

I generally use Bibtex, but for this project I am helping somebody reformat their paper. I have a nice bibliography, that would be too time consuming to convert to Bibtex. I would like to get the output to be plain (ie no [#] on each entry). I don't \cite in the paper, so dropping the numbers is not a concern.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[ 12pt, onesided, leqno]{article}

\usepackage{amsmath, verbatim, times, booktabs, dcolumn, setspace, fullpage}
\newcolumntype{.}{D{.}{.}{2.5}}	
\setcounter{MaxMatrixCols}{10}

\setlength{\footnotesep}{10pt}
\def\thesection{\Roman{section}.}
\def\thesubsection{\rm \Roman{section}(\roman{subsection}).}

\makeatletter
\def\section{\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@}{-3.5ex plus -1ex minus -.2ex}{2.3ex plus .2ex}{\center \normalsize\sc}}
\def\subsection{\@startsection {subsection}{1}{\z@}{-3.5ex plus -1ex minus -.2ex}{2.3ex plus .2ex}{\normalsize \it}}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\begin{thebibliography}{99}

\bibitem{none} Biehl, AR (2002), \textquotedblleft The Extent of the Market for
Retail Banking Deposits,\textquotedblright\ \textit{The Antitrust Bulletin},
Spring:91-106.

\bibitem{} Brynjolfson, Erik and Chris Kemerer (1996), \textquotedblleft
Network Externalities in Microcomputer Software: An Econometric Analysis of
the Spreadsheet Market,\textquotedblright\ \textit{Management Science}, Vol.
42, iss.12, pp. 1627-47.

\bibitem{} Chamberlain, G. (1982), \textquotedblleft Multivariate Regression
Models for Panel Data,\textquotedblright\ \emph{Journal of Econometrics},
Vol. 18, pp. 5-46.

\end{thebibliography}



\end{document}
Thank you, for your help whomever you may be.

Formatting a bibliography without BibTeX

I suggest to use a simple list instead of the thebibliography environment, perhaps formatted with the help of the enumitem package. The trivlist environment would be the most simple way.


Best regards
